The perfect Cucumber for school lunch boxes - or even Mum or Dad's lunchbox

This relatively new variety produces mini Cucumbers that are around 4" - 6" in length with an excellent flavour and a lovely crisp texture.

Primarily for growing under protection this variety will also fair well in a sheltered spot outside.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

How To Sow & Grow Cucumber 'Green Fingers'

Sow under protection in pots late February to April.
Place seeds on end, blunted end pointing downwards in compost - simply push into compost out of sight. Water thoroughly and germinate at a temperature of 75°f.
When seed leaves are developed reduce temperature to around 65°-70°f.
Plant out late March (heated greenhouse) or late May (unheated greenhouse), or later if growing outside. Plant two per growbag or straw bale or one per large pot.
Support the plants with canes and pinch out the growing points when the main stems reach the greenhouse roof. Pinch out the tip of each side shoot two leaves beyond female flowers (those with a tiny 'fruit' behind) and pinch out flowerless shoots when they reach 2ft in length.
Harvest as required and to encourage repeat fruiting.

Top Tips
Protect newly sown seeds from mice. Mice are notorious in 'sniffing out' seed of this nature
Keep the soil / compost moist - watering around the plant, not the foliage.
Remove male flowers (those with a long thin stalk and no tiny 'fruit' behind the flower) as fertilised fruit tend to have a more bitter taste.

Supplied as a packet of 5 seeds.

Invoice Number 24330 Hi, I'm writing to tell you how delighted I am with my recent order of two Kiwi. I was totally blown away at the care that was taken in wrapping the plants (straw) and how moist and healthy the roots were, they arrived in fantastic condition. This is excellent customer service. I work in gardening and have to order plants all the time, I shall order again. What a contrast to recent orders I have made to Thompson & Morgan that took weeks and weeks to arrive and when they did the plants were dead, and the soil around the root in the bag poored out like dry sand. Thank you again. Helen Weekes, London
